About The Hollywood Fringe Festival
The Hollywood Fringe is one of the largest performing arts festivals in the country that takes place each June. Coming up on their 13th annual festival, HFF has cultivated a supportive theatre artists community and acts as a training ground for new producers and a haven for experienced artists to expand their audience and artist network.
The Hollywood Fringe Festival is an annual, open-access, community-derived event celebrating freedom of expression and collaboration in the performing arts community.
Participation in the Hollywood Fringe is completely open and uncensored. This free-for-all approach underlines the festival’s mission to be a platform for artists without the barrier of a curating body. By opening the gates to anyone with a vision, the festival can exhibit the most diverse and cutting-edge points-of-view the world has to offer. Additionally, by creating an environment where artists must self-produce their work, the Fringe motivates its participants to cultivate a spirit of entrepreneurialism in the arts.
